The Little Round Table was started in January 2010 and is for TVCWRT members who want to get together one night a month with their fellow American Civil War buffs in an informal rec room environment and discuss a pre-designated topic. The discussion is led by a member whose purpose is to not-so-gently steer the discussion to keep it on topic. "Discuss" is the key word here, although presentations are welcome - particularly for arcane and hard-to-research subjects - anyone thinking of leading one of these topics does not have to come with anything more than a basic discussion outline and a good understanding of the topic they are leading.

Monthly leaders overwhelmed by their task are encouraged to assign the discussion leadership of subtopics to specific "willing" LRT members during the prior month's meeting.
